On 20 August 2014 I returned to Freyberg HS in Palmerston North. I spent time with the librarian whose site I have included in my Scoop-it on School library website platforms. (Great library! Great librarian!) I also met the Principal and had this photo taken with the pictures of the foundation pupils. It means a lot to me to connect with my early years.

Aged 6. Outside the Post Office in Palmerston North Square.

I check these bushes every morning, when the sun is almost to rise and the dew is on the lawn. Rosalind (daughter) and I live here is Sydney and FINALLY I have realised a life ambition to grow roses. We are happy here.

Bellsie 14 Nov 1996 - 17 March 2012

She may have been only 1.5 kilos but the place she filled in our family was huge,We will miss you, Bellsie.

Eight beautiful cats lived at our place.1 Scottish fold, 1 Scottish short hair, and 6 Munchkins.With regret, Dude left us on 12 January 2013, just 3 days short of his 4th birthday. We just could not stop him finding new ways to escape our yard.

In October we lost Moonie and Ewok who both had chinchilla heritage and succumbed to kidney issues. All much loved and missed.

In 2018 we have lost Sweetie and Angie. Both having lived their full nine lives

It matters in coding.5.SUBMIT for punching.6.INPUT the cards into card reader7.CHECK the printout for number of errors, and correct the code. 8.REPEAT stage 7 until error-free.9. FINALLY Run the program!10.WAIT for payday (40c a card!)

﻿﻿Once upon a time I created a website﻿﻿. As I have left the school it has gone but here is a pic from 2009 via the Wayback machine.The links are unlikely to work now. Dreamweaver was too expensive so I learned to code. I am still very proud of this.
